Durban Avenue Guidance & Counseling Department

Welcome to Elementary Guidance

Welcome to the Elementary School Guidance Program! We are here to support every student’s academic, social, and emotional growth in a safe, caring, and inclusive environment.

Our goal is to help students build confidence, develop positive relationships, and learn the skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.

What We Do

The guidance program provides a variety of services to support students, including:

• Classroom Lessons focused on social-emotional learning, friendship skills, and problem-solving
• Small Group Support for students who may need extra help with specific skills
• Individual Check-Ins to support student well-being
• Crisis Support when needed
• Collaboration with Teachers & Families to best support each child

Our Focus Areas

We work with students on important life skills such as:

• Managing emotions
• Building positive friendships
• Making responsible decisions
• Developing self-confidence
• Handling challenges and conflicts

Partnering with Families

We believe that strong partnerships between school and home are essential. Families are always encouraged to reach out with questions, concerns, or to learn more about how we can support their child.
